What's the right way to report an AI-powered profile posting slop reviews?

https://www.imdb.com/user/ur181362155/ is an account that posts AI slop reviews by the thousands.

I've reported several, yet every one of them was declined for "Unable to verify" reasons.

Here's an example: https://www.imdb.com/review/rw10117649/

Every single review is of that format; if you look at a handful of them, it's impossible not to see it.  Everything is described with two adjectives.  There are usually no solid details, just stuff an AI might pick up from being trained on some early (pre-2024) reddit threads about the show, not this particular episode.  Even more, when it does come up with a solid detail (Louise finds a creepy doll in the basement) it is a hallucination that anybody who has watched the episode would pick up on very quickly.

This should be obvious from the user's account history.  It has posted over seven hundred reviews per day since it was created.

Does IMDB have an official policy on AI slop?  If garbage, low-quality, hallucinatory reviews are not actually allowed, how does it expect those to be surfaced if not by the reporting system?

Here's ChatGPT, after I fed it the show's title and an arbitrary rating of 7.  Importantly, I did not feed it the description, and it hallucinated finding something in the basement, which, again, is not something that happens in the episode.  Also check out the vacuous word choices that, sorry, no human uses this way.

Generate a review for the following Bob's Burgers episode: For Whom the Doll Toes
It has the following tags:  halloween episode, dollhouse, doll, rain
Give it a 7/10 rating.

It replies:

Bob's Burgers delivers another quirky and charming Halloween episode with For Whom the Doll Toes, blending its signature humor with a spooky, dollhouse-themed storyline. The Belcher kids discover an eerie dollhouse hidden in their basement, and their adventure quickly spirals into a mix of rain-drenched chaos and hilariously creepy encounters.

The episode shines in its setup, with the dollhouse serving as an effective centerpiece for a Halloween story. The animation during the rainstorm adds an atmospheric touch, setting a cozy yet haunting tone. The jokes land more often than not, with Louise's sharp wit and Gene's ridiculous antics leading the charge.

However, the plot feels a bit rushed toward the end, leaving some of the mystery surrounding the dollhouse underexplored. While the humor is solid, it doesn’t quite hit the high notes of past Halloween classics like "The Hauntening." Still, the episode is enjoyable and perfectly festive for the season, capturing the essence of Halloween with the Belcher family’s unique twist.

This spooky doll-centric episode may not be a standout, but it’s a solid addition to the series' holiday episodes—perfect for fans looking for lighthearted Halloween fun.
